👩🍳 Instructions
1
Prepare your ingredients: Thaw and pat shrimp dry. Cut broccoli into florets and carrots into thin slices. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Cook high-protein noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
2
Whisk together the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, sriracha (if using), cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
3
Sear the shrimp: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté aromatics and vegetables: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the same skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots; stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
5
Combine and sauce: Return cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the sauce mixture another quick whisk, then pour it over everything. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
6
Add noodles and serve: Add the cooked high-protein noodles to the skillet. Toss gently until well combined and heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
💡 Notes
For a gluten-free version, ensure to use tamari and gluten-free noodles. Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
